Greetings!
Do you ever feel like you’re on the verge of a profound shift in consciousness?
Have you had glimpses of an extraordinary spiritual potential that you hardly know how to speak about? (and if you do speak about it, other people look at you like you’re from another planet).
Do you have a sense that your own spiritual transformation is not just a personal matter, but that by evolving yourself, you are participating in the evolution of humanity, life and consciousness itself?
And, yet, in spite of this, do you struggle with how to bring this deeper sense of flow, ease, and fullness of being into your day to day life?
If so, there is an event you need to know about...
It’s called: The Key to Evolving Beyond Ego - How to Make the Change that Changes Everything http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1443425 with Craig Hamilton.
With so many teachers and paths out there, it’s rare that I come across a spiritual teaching that feels genuinely new and significant enough that I’m compelled to write to all of my friends about it.
But if you haven’t yet discovered the work of Craig Hamilton, you need to hear his story.
In his mid-twenties, he walked away from a full scholarship to Harvard Divinity School to spend 13 years in a living laboratory of evolution—a modern-day monastery where he pursued his spiritual training day and night.
It was in this unique, focused environment that he and his colleagues discovered the radical new approach to spiritual life that is sending shockwaves through the contemporary spiritual world.
You’ll need to listen to Craig to get the full picture, but the essence of their discovery was this: If we want to evolve spiritually, we don’t need to get rid of the ego or even overcome the ego. We simply need to learn how to access the part of us that is already beyond the ego.
Instead of spending a lifetime making slow and steady progress on our spiritual path, we can take a radical leap into a completely different experience of being alive—once we learn how to awaken what Craig calls “The Evolutionary Self.”http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1443425
Here’s where the story gets interesting.
Five years ago, Craig left this evolutionary laboratory to share this discovery with the world. At that time, he had no idea of the future that was about to unfold.
What happened next was extraordinary.
As news of his revolutionary message began to spread around the world, within a few months’ time, hundreds of thousands of people were tuning in to his online seminars.
In the face of growing worldwide demand for his teachings, in Fall of 2009, Craig opened a virtual “Academy for Evolutionaries” http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1443425 to teach the step-by-step process he’d developed to help us awaken this “Evolutionary Self.”
And since then, more than 3,000 people in over 40 countries around the world have graduated from this life-changing program, including many of today’s leading luminaries.
Barbara Marx Hubbard recently wrote:
“If I had to pick one teacher to take a deep dive with around conscious evolution and evolutionary spirituality, it would be Craig Hamilton. He is attuned to the frequency of the Impulse of Evolution. He empowers us to make the shift from ego to essence, and from essence to emergence as an expression of the Impulse itself. This is very rare. To be one of his students in depth is a great privilege."
Spiritual teacher Michael Beckwith writes:
“It is rare to find a spiritual teacher who imparts the depth, the clarity, the humility, and the wisdom that Craig Hamilton does. Craig's transmission of the very spirit of evolution reaches right down into the core Self, awakening his students' desire to reach their highest evolutionary potential. If you have the good fortune to learn from him, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take advantage of it.”
Craig is considered by many to be one of the world’s leading authorities on how to evolve beyond ego in today’s world.
You are invited to attend his upcoming online seminar:
The Key to Evolving Beyond Ego –
How to Make the Change that Changes Everything
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1443425.
This is Craig’s first public appearance in nearly a year. Because of the intensive demands of his teaching work, it’s rare that he offers a free public seminar anymore.
But in response to the many requests he has received, Craig has agreed to teach his life-changing process at no charge to anyone with an internet connection.
So, even if you can’t attend it live, make sure you register anyway, so you can listen to the audio after the seminar is over.
Register for free today. http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1443425

Easter As Seen Through Mary Magdalene’s Eyes—A Moonrise Service
April 8 at 6:30 PM - 9 PM
5:00 PM - Easter potluck dinner in Unity Hall.
Unity In Marin
600 Palm Dr. (Hamilton Center) Novato, CA 94949
www.unityinmarin.org
Join us in a special evening of ritual musical wonderment and exploration of Mary’s role in the events leading up to the Resurrection. We begin with a Easter Potluck at Unity Hall starting at 5pm. The Moonrise Service begins at 6:30 pm.
Please invite your friends and celebrate the Resurrection of the Spirit of Love in us All!
What was the Biblical prophecy in the story of Easter that predicted the rise of Mary Magdalene? What did she do to impact the Resurrection?
Delve into the mystery of Mary’s impactful role as sourced from the Gospel of Mary, the Eucharist work of Episcopalian Priest Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault (author of The Meaning of Mary Magdalene), the explanation of the true intended meaning of the Crucifixion from A Course In Miracles and information in the Bible, which actually validates these other sources.
Become wrapped in celestial sounds from mystical chants as we move into a beautiful “6-Station Ritual” beginning with the anointing, with real Jerusalem Spikenard oil flown in from the Holy lands—to ending at the Gates of Heaven in a circle of chanting as the full moon rises shining on us all.
Led by Priestess Christiane Michaels, M.A. accompanied by devoted Magdalene Priestesses/Priests musicians and singers. Donation $20 - $40 (no one turned away for lack of funds) Opportunities for loving service are available. Please call Christy at 415-879-0155. For more info on what is involved in the service please visit our website:www.gospelofmarymagdalene.info

Sliding Scale: $15-$25 Tickets available at the door &www.brownpapertickets.com/event/227793

Come to the dhyana Center Lofts for an evening of world-class middle Eastern music with SHABAZ. Formerly the Ali Khan Band, SHABAZ is actually part of an eleven-generation continuum: the brother and sister duo at the heart of the band are the children of the great classical singer Salamat Ali Khan, and their lineage extends back to the court singers for Akbar the Great. Sukhawat and Riffat join with Riffat's husband Richard Michos, bassist, guitarist and producer, and other stellar musicians to use their classical training in new settings resulting in a fusion of the family's traditional vocal style with folk, jazz, funk, and tabla groove. SHABAZ inspires audiences to dance from the heart and listen from the soul; don’t miss this chance to experience their magic in the downtown Sebastopol on Saturday night, April 14th!
For more information, events@dhyanacenter.com or call 707-292-7681.
Interested in training in Somatic Experiencing?
There's a new training series starting this May in Berkeley, at the lovely Rudramandir Center.
What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)?
SE is a lovely, deeply relational, heartfelt modality that is designed to compliment numerous occupational orientations.
SE is based on the study of how animals in the wild process and recover from stress and trauma.
It enhances the work of anyone in a helping profession, such as therapists, psychologists, social service workers, bodyworkers, PTs, OTs, nurses, doctors, paramedics, teachers, play or art therapists, meditation and yoga instructors, and others in the healing arts.
If you currently have a practice that brings you into relations with people who have symptoms of stress or trauma, or who simply are challenged by the demands of modern life- this training will give you a breadth of understanding as well as a vast assortment of new, effective therapeutic tools. Those of you trained in traditional psychological or medical fields, will find this work presents an entirely new, refreshing, and logical understanding of what is a "disorder" or "symptom".
There is a strong scientific component in that the work is based on the study of the physiology of the threat response, and how this dysregulates the autonomic nervous system, driving many of the current dis-eases and diagnoses. Of course we take into account the emotional and psychological as well, but the the biological, body response to trauma is almost always overlooked.
Although this training is focused on developing practitioner skills, students continue to be amazed by the deep personal transformation of self that occurs, the enhanced connection to the body and to others, and the overall change that occurs in their physiology.
The Sacred Centers May 2012 Immersion is shaping up to be one of the juiciest ever!
